Made for Spring into Summer Tag. These were excellent! They were extremely easy and I will make these again. The only thing that I did different was to use a mix of frozen peppers (red, yellow, green) which game them a wonderful color. Thanks for posting this Heidi.

These were the tastiest turkey burgers I've ever tried. The seasoning was perfect! I added avocado to the burgers. Delicious!

I can't belive I haven't rated this yet-I have been making this recipe for a few years now. It is by far my husband's favorite. My grandma eats it and loves it too (if I don't tell her it's turkey-she hates all poultry) I have to use swiss instead of montery jack cheese, but everything else is baisically as written. Thank you for posting something that my husband will actually eat and enjoy.

These are delicious! I used ground chicken in place of turkey and added in fresh garlic and some finely chopped green onion, thanks for sharing!...Kitten:)
